And while she won’t arrive here until 28th February 2017, her announcement has been enough to have us all listening to her albums on repeat, and frantically searching for her best moments on YouTube – of which there are many. From her laidback attitude to worldwide fame to her countless hilarious interview moments, here are just 11 reasons why we love the musical powerhouse that is Adele.

Now, how do we get our hands on those tickets..

1. Her success

In nine years, Adele has gone from a young Tottenham lass to one of the world’s biggest brands. With 10 Grammy awards, A Golden Globe, an Oscar and many more – plus an estimated $165million fortune, she hasn’t even hit 30 yet, and she goes by a single name. Pretty impressive, for someone who once started out on Myspace.

She may be one of the richest women in the world, but Adele is often credited as being one of the most ‘real’ celebrities you could wish to meet. She doesn’t take her fame too seriously – in fact, she once dressed up as herself and pretended to be an impersonator – prosthetic nose and all - during a skit on the BBC.

She was once quoted as saying, “You can’t complain about your dressing room or you’ll look like Celine Dion.”

3. Her potty mouth

The Brits are known for being more reserved when it comes to swearing – but not Adele. She landed herself in hot water when she swore 33 times during her 90-minute Glastonbury set this year – despite being warned not to by the BBC. Thankfully, the majority of festival-goers didn’t mind her curse words!

4. Her reaction to meeting Beyonce…

Basically, the reaction every one of us mere mortals would have! In an interview with BBC Radio 1, she reminisced about meeting Queen Bey, saying, “I was basically dribbling as she was talking to me. Then Jay Z came over to talk to her but Beyonce was like, 'I'm talking, not now.' He came closer and said, 'Adele, can I just have one minute with my wife?' I was like, 'You know my name?' Then I ran off onto a balcony and fell to my knees, crying."

5. Her now-legendary Carpool Karaoke stint

Few celebrities have made such an impact during Carpool Karaoke as Adele (except, perhaps, Michelle Obama). Not only did she reveal that she’s a lifelong Spice Girls fan (us too!), she also perfectly rapped Nicki Minaj’s verse from Monster, and considered making her own ‘squad’, Taylor Swift-stylee. See the clip here.

6. Her honesty about motherhood

Being a mum is hard, but some celebs paint it as a bed of roses. Adele, however is honest about the struggles mums can face, telling 60 Minutes last year, “You think it’s gonna be easy, and you think you’ll be able to control it, especially because most people do it. And it’s like, I don’t think most people would do it if they knew how hard it was!” Of course, she’s also full of praise for Angelo; her son with partner Simon Konecki, telling Vogue that motherhood gave her a “purpose”.

We’re all about strong women, and Adele encourages her fans to support each other. At the Manchester stop on her world tour, she told the audience, "I love myself more than ever... and that's something that comes with age. You don't realize just how important it is to have female friends... For every girl, anything you're feeling, another girl has gone through that. No matter what. That's why you need to rally around each other... You need to cherish them."

8. Her on-point make-up

Shallow it may be, but we can all appreciate the skill that goes into a good eyeliner flick – and while Adele certainly has make-up artists to give her a helping hand, she’s sure to have picked up some tips and tricks along the way. We also admire her dedication to her signature retro look. Well, if it ain’t broke..!

9. Her love for a good burger

Sometimes, when things go wrong, you just need some comfort food…and Adele knows exactly how to treat herself in style. After some issues at a concert, she tweeted, "The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that's what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune. S--- happens. X." She then followed up with, "Because of it though... I'm treating myself to an in n out [burger]. So maybe it was worth it." SO worth it.

While we love her eyeliner, she looks just as good without it, as you can tell by her Instagram page, which is awash with snaps of her looking gorgeous and happy, sans her iconic make-up look. And the 28 year-old regularly has something to say about body image and confidence. In her November 2015 60 Minutes interview, she said, "I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears," before adding, “You don't see music, you listen to music, so what does it even matter?”

11. And, of course, her song writing.

Adele manages to stir emotions some of us didn’t even know we had with her lyrics and soulful voice. Who hasn’t been able to relate to the lyrics of Someone Like You or Hello? Described as ‘poetry for the soul’, she’s one of the most cherished songwriters of our time – and we can’t wait to hear what she comes up with next…
